changed primary domain, links still go to old domain

Hello,
I installed my cmsms site at www.olddomain.com/here/ and once it was up and running, added a new domain and assigned it to this directory.
When I go to the new domain, all works fine except the menu links all point back to the old domain. Image urls are the old ones too.
I have cleared the cache. Am I right in thinking I just have to wait and these links will update automatically? If I look at the html, the links are relative, (sorry, don't know the technical term - links begin with a '/' and don't include the root domain.) My config.php file is really small and does not reference root_url. Do I need to add this line to the file? If so, how exactly do I do it?
Thanks so much in advance

Would you mind sharing the real url to the website?
I don't recognize the relative urls in the menu. Usually Menu Manager outputs absolute urls.
Maybe you want to post (one of the) page template here.

Sure, thanks!
The new domain is
http://www.the-photographer-of-penllergare.co.uk
I am completely new to cmsms, (I didn't create the original site, just transferred the files etc.) so please bear with me! I can see in the templates that the pages call "css_menu.tpl" but when I go to menu manager, I can't see how to open/inspect this file.
The following is the default page template:
Code: Select all
{process_pagedata}<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>{sitename} - {title}</title>
{metadata}
{cms_stylesheet}
{cms_selflink dir="start" rellink=1}
{cms_selflink dir="prev" rellink=1}
{cms_selflink dir="next" rellink=1}
{literal}
<__script__ type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
//pass min and max - measured against window width
function P7_MinMaxW(a,b){
var nw="auto",w=document.documentElement.clientWidth;
if(w>=b){nw=b+"px";}if(w<=a){nw=a+"px";}return nw;
}
//-->
</__script>
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
#pagewrapper {width:expression(P7_MinMaxW(720,950));}
#container {height: 1%;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
{/literal}
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="modules/MenuManager/CSSMenu.js"></__script>
<![endif]-->
</head>
</__body>
<div id="pagewrapper">
{* start accessibility skip links *}
<ul class="accessibility">
<li>{anchor anchor='menu_vert' title='Skip to navigation' accesskey='n' text='Skip to navigation'}</li>
<li>{anchor anchor='main' title='Skip to content' accesskey='s' text='Skip to content'}</li>
</ul>
{* end accessibility skip links *}
<hr class="accessibility" />
{* Start Header *}
<div id="header">
<h1>{cms_selflink dir="start" text="$sitename"}</h1>
<hr class="accessibility" />
</div>
{* End Header *}
{* Start Content *}
<div id="content">
{* Start Content Area *}
<div id="main">
{content}
<hr class="accessibility" />
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
{* End Content Area *}
</div>
{* End Content *}
{* Start Navigation *}
<div id="menu_vert">
{* stylesheet "Navigation: CSSMenu - Horizontal" *}
<h2 class="accessibility">Navigation</h2>
{menu loadprops=0 template='cssmenu.tpl'}
<hr class="accessibility" />
</div>
{* End Navigation *}
</div>
{* end pagewrapper *}
<__body>
</__html>
Many many thanks!

This causes some problems:
Code: Select all
<base href="http://www.s548422717.websitehome.co.uk/the-photographer-of-penllergare//" />
It comes from {metadata} tag.
Are you very sure the CMSMS is actually cleared? Check if the /tmp/cache... folders are empty after clearing the cache.
Somehow CMSMS gets wrong url from webserver
Suggestion to quickly fix it (though I'd be curious why it happens):
config.php add:
Code: Select all
$config['root_url'] = 'http://www.the-photographer-of-penllergare.co.uk';
